Q: So who are you, dude?
A: Princess Lasertron is Megan Hunt from Omaha, NE. I'm 22. I have a cat. I graduated in 2007 from Dana College in Blair, NE (B.A., German and Intercultural Communication). I play Dungeons and Dragons every other Saturday. Besides creating and crafting, I also enjoy reading really deep pretentious books, collecting fonts, and going to dance clubs! Is there any more to say? Not really.
Q: What does "Princess Lasertron" mean?
A: Princess Lasertron is contemporary, playful, and always one-of-a-kind. The name for the business came from a nickname that my then-boyfriend-now-husband has always called me.
Q: How did you get started in this business?
A: Three years ago I went into business for myself making these flowers and selling them online. I started with button flowers and added felt flower pins, and at that time I also did a lot of custom sewing and embroidery.
In 2007 I began PrincessLasertron.com which helps me communicate more easily with my customers. Today, Princess Lasertron still creates the same original products, but most of the business comes from making custom bouquets and boutonnieres for other brides.
One of the really unique things about Princess Lasertron is that I use vintage materials and new techniques to create bouquets and accessories that will last for generations. Every bouquet features mostly vintage buttons and other antique findings like ribbon, seam binding, thread, and felt. (But nothing dull or dingy!!) The buttons and findings I use come from many special sources all over the country--my mom helps me a lot with that! She is a huge vintage hound. I spend a LOT of time searching for vintage materials to make my products.
I think brides choose my flowers over fresh flowers because they will last for generations, they are ALWAYS completely custom and unique to every bride, and they are unconventional but not "weird" or hard to understand and accept. I have a 100% satisfaction rating and I work closely with each bride through email, sending photos, and communicating about the vision each bride has to make it a truly collaborative project.
Princess Lasertron has also been featured on several other wedding websites including Offbeat Bride, Polkadot Bride, Peonies and Polaroids, and many others. My flowers have also been featured in local publication such as Wedding Essentials.
